Upgrade advice

Hi,

Looking to upgrade my current 1150 setup in sig, so it would be a new board, CPU and MB. I'm a bit out of the loop with what's good at the moment or what's due soon. I primarily play games so is there something available now that would give me a decent bump in performance without spending a fortune? I assume I would need to look at DDR4 as well. No set budget but it would be to go with a 980ti/Titan X or 1080.

Thanks

I would say if its whats in your sig then dont bother.

Thanks. Is there anything new due on the horizon that's going to be worthy of an upgrade?

Not that im aware.

Kabylake replaces skylake and broadwell-E for X99.

Im not sure any of those will be a big enough jump over what you have now if its only gaming you do.

Like Stulid said, it's a waste of time and money. Skylake offers very little over Haswell/Devils Canyon. From what I have seen about Kabylake so far it also look's disappointing. I am probably going to have this mobo/cpu/ram combo longer than any other combo I have ever had.
